Thanks for the suggestion about CFFTP. I hadn't considered it, but I'll
look into it. I still wonder of this will change things,
since the upload request still goes through the browser, and that is
where the problem seems to lie. IE will not upload
a large file (80 MB is the size of my test file) but seems to upload
files less than about 30 MB.

Would the cfftp tag serve your purpose for this? The server would be
handling the transfers so your users can be oblivious to where it's
actually going. You could have the user pick files using an "<input
type='file'>" tag to browse for file names, then pass those to cfftp
to handle the upload. Note that CF8 also adds SFTP support to the
cfftp tag.
If you decide to try cfftp, do a little googling on it. There are a
few little tricks that people have figured out that may make life much
easier. For instance:

If FTP is the way to upload files, why is there a CFFILE tag for this?
I'm reluctant to give my users FTP access to the web site. The
uploads need to go to 6 different folders, depending on the nature
of the file. With CFFILE, I can let them select the proper folder,
limit access to only those selected folders, and control the type
of file that can be uploaded. My users don't need to know or
negotiate the file structure of the site.
Is there a way this can be done with FTP? I suppose I could set up
a bunch of separate limited FTP accounts, but the CFFILE approach
seems to be optimum.
Other than uploading large files, around 80 MB or larger, this has
worked fine, and it still works fine with Mozilla. IE will upload
files as large as 30 MB, but it
seems to choke on an 80MB file. I have not done enough testing to
determine where the actual choke point lies. 64 MB maybe?

IE can only upload files up to 2 GB or 4 GB (one of the
two...) anything
smaller should work.

The thing that has me stumped about the upload, and seems to
point to an
issue with IE, is that Mozilla uploads the large file, using
the exact
same CF pages, that have no browser-specific code, without any
problem.

CF7 and earlier have to load the entire file into memory
when doing uploads - so with large files you can run into
heap problems. CF8 uses a different method.
It was possibly coincidence that you only noticed the
problem using
IE?
Moving to 8 might solve the problem.

To deal with my upload issue, my ISP wants to switch my
site from CF7 to CF8. I am inclined to do so.
Are there any Gotcha's I need to be aware of?
